Does anyone know of a PCI USB Board which has multiple USB controllers on one card. I am looking for a 4 port PCI USB card which as a controller per port. I want to connect 4 USB cameras to VIDBlaster, but I only have one PCI port available.

I am trying to use vidblaster with multiple usb cameras and it does not seem to allow it. Even though my system recognizes them vidblaster does not allow me to view the video list in camera module. it is grayed out. So can you not use USB cameras?

Yes VIDBlaster works with USB cameras. I have been using VIDBlaster with HD USB cameras Logitech QuickCam Orbit AF and Microsoft Lifecam Cinema.

The only way I was able to get them to work was to plug them each into a different USB controller. You can not use a USB hub or plug them into the same location on your computer, which is most likely just using one USB hub.

This is way I am looking for a PCI USB card with Multiple USB controllers on one card.

Does anyone know a MFR and model number of a USB card that has more then one controller on the card?

Thanks for your help,

Mike
